Chaotic LIDAR for Naval Applications
Abstract
The last progress report described a proof-of-concept fiber ring laser that was constructed using existing components at a wavelength of approximately 1546 nm. This wavelength was selected due to the availability of all necessary fiber laser components. We are now obtaining a broadband laser output as desired which allows us to investigate the chaotic dynamics and to explore proof-of-concept autocorrelation-based signal processing approaches as we simultaneously move towards the development of a 1060 nm fiber ring laser that can be frequency doubled to a useful underwater wavelength of 530 nm. While autocorrelations can be obtained using digital techniques, it also is desired to develop optical techniques to perform the autocorrelation in real-time, thereby enabling a real-time proximity sensing circuit.
